Home Composers Kirke Mechem The Choral Music of Kirke Mechem updated 21 May 2003 For four decades, the choral music of Kirke Mechem has received the highest praise from international music journals, audiences, conductors and singers. Many of his 200 published choral works have become American classics, sung by professional choirs (Dale Warland, Roger Wagner, The BBC Singers, The Royal Welsh Men's Choir), by virtually every university in America, and by some of the finest sacred choirs (Mormon Tabernacle, St. Olaf's, Westminster). Mechem's music has been the subject of articles by all the important choral magazines and of seven doctoral dissertations. In 1969 the American Choral Foundation published an annotated bibliography of his works; the ACDA honored him at its 1987 national convention with a commission and retrospective. His mastery of the choral medium is rooted in years of choral singing and conducting. The 1995 ACDA national convention featured Mechem's Songs of the Slave , a half-hour cantata for bass-baritone, chorus and orchestra honoring the centennial of the death of Frederick Douglass. Critical Acclaim: Variations on American Folk Songs ] "...one of America's most prolific and imaginative composers...a real stroke of genius...'Skip to My Lou' is a genuine toe-tapper, guaranteed to generate wide smiles and bring down the house. 'Let Us Break Bread' is heartbreakingly beautiful...'Love and Pizen' will spring to life in stunning fashion."

Beats In Kansas The Beat Generation in the Heartland James Mechem, Writer and Publisher Interview by Denise Low October 29, 2003, New York, NY [James Mechem, Beat Generation writer, Caprice magazine publisher, and native Kansan, interviewed by Denise Low. James Mechem was born in Wichita in 1923, raised in Topeka; his father was Kirke Mechem, Kansas State Historian. Denise Low is an author, poet and chair of the English Department at Haskell Indian Nations University, Lawrence, KS. She is a member of the Prairie Writers Circle.] Denise Low : I've known you since 1980. I remember hearing you read a short fiction piece at the Salina reading for the Kansas Writers Association. James Mechem : I still have a Kansas Writers Association tee shirt. DL: That was my first Kansas Writers Association meeting. I can't even remember how I got to it. Maybe Tom Averill got me involved with it. I remember the first time I heard you give a reading, with your soft-whiskey, gentle voice, about lesbian lovers, I believe. I was so taken with your presence, and then the story was so distinct. It's a lot like the stories you publish now in Caprice . Did you grow up in Wichita, where you lived?

The Annual Meeting of October 1942 by Kirke Meachem February, 1943 (Vol. 12, No. 1), pages 92 to 104. Transcribed by lhn; digitized with permission of the Kansas State Historical Society. SECRETARY'S REPORT, YEAR ENDING OCTOBER 20, 1942 THE ANNUAL MEETING 93 trained to fight in the stratosphere against the modern arms of the Axis, say to another, "Imagine sitting out there in the open air in that crate!" Other pieces that appeal to ex-service men are the gun collection, including the Gatling gun, the relics of World War I, and a bit of fabric from a Japanese dive bomber which was shot down at Pearl Harbor. It may also be mentioned in connection with the war that the secretary of the Society has for the past ten months been serving as chairman of the Kansas Committee for the Conservation of Cultural Resources. And a less cultural but perhaps more practical contribution was the collection of over two tons of scrap metal for the local drive last week.
